The countdown is dwindling down and things are beginning to get a bit tense. I was just informed this morning that due to the recent terrorist attack attempt on Christmas day, my luggage allotment is one piece due to heightened security measures for overseas travel.
Now lets think....
A girl+one suitcase+four months+shoes+clothes= one sticky situation.
Not to mention a lot more needs to be packed than just clothing. Lets add in a textbook, school supplies, and a converter, etc. Needless to say, my super ultra woman packing skills came out today as I rolled and stuffed and configured. I was determined.
Tonight, I've come to pity those I'm leaving behind. Not because they won't be with me, but because it will be a royal PAIN to get in touch with me. I've had to make calls tonight about a Eurorail pass that I ordered and shipped to my program in Italy...let me tell ya! There's a nine hour time difference, and businesses open at nine. So, here I am, making calls at midnight, trying to figure out how the whole calling out of the country thing works. Good thing I'm learning early!
I have a wonderful home church family who blessed me this Sunday with prayers and blessings over my journey. Everyone seems super excited to hear about everything, and I plan to keep them well informed throughout my journey.
I forgot to mention in my last blog that if you have any questions, feel free to ask! I would love to answer what I can and to try and figure out those I don't have answers to. Be curious :)
